Job Description

Are you ready to kick-start your career in a dynamic, fast-paced environment?

We’re seeking a Clay Modeller Graduate to join us within our Design team, giving you the chance to work on cutting-edge projects across the automotive industry.

About the role:

As the newest member of the Clay Modelling team, you will play a vital role in creating sketch proportion models and master models from scale to full size using a variety of materials, with clay being the primary medium.

Your main role will be to shape the future of the Aston Martin brand – from the iconic Exterior proportions to the intricate detailing on the Interior, the Clay Modelling Team sits at the core of the design process.

To thrive in this position, you must possess a collaborative spirit and a flexible mindset. You will be tasked with assisting the design team in bringing 3D physical design concepts to life. As a member of a highly motivated team, you must demonstrate solidarity and dedication to achieving excellence. The role is your chance to be a part of a very creative studio where all the teams come together to produce some of the most beautiful cars in the world.

The Clay Modelling department will be your primary role but during your graduate scheme, you will have the opportunity to experience other areas of the department depending on individual and business needs.

Main duties will include:

  • Managing your own time effectively.
  • Integrating into the team you are working with.
  • Understanding the needs and taking direction from the Designers, whether this is Exterior or Interior teams.
  • Understanding hardpoint data from the Studio Engineering Team.
  • Reading 2D sketches and turning them into 3D models.

Rotations:

You will rotate within different areas of Design, established based on individual needs and wants, as the Department is made up of many different disciplines.

The main role will be as a Clay Modeller, so you will spend most of your time learning this discipline.

What we’re looking for:

If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and thriving in challenging environments, this is your perfect role. We’re looking for ambitious, resilient individuals who are eager to take on new challenges, gain exposure to cutting-edge design techniques, and make a real impact.

You’ll need to:

  • Be passionate about modelling, not afraid to express yourself, and able to push the boundaries of design while helping the Designers and the rest of the team to reach the best possible outcomes.
  • Have a Design based degree, or similar.
  • Have a fantastic eye for 3D design proportions.
  • Be a strong team player with a very flexible ‘can do’ attitude.
  • Hold a creative Design-based background.
  • Understand how to take 2D drawings and create 3D models using automotive clay.

What’s in it for you:

This is more than just a job; it’s a unique opportunity to grow your career at a fast pace. You’ll gain hands-on experience, work on innovative projects, and build connections within the business. You’ll be based at our Gaydon headquarters, and this role is site based.

We also offer:

  • A starting salary of £34,200 with performance-based increments.
  • Annual bonus (discretionary).
  • Medical cover, life assurance, and pension scheme.
  • Access to our car scheme and a range of partner discounts.
